If your hands are too small to hold it that way, keep the handle on it and scoop it up with your thumb like this: Holding the X80-GT part 2 - Album on Imgur and your finger naturally rests on the button.
EDIT: I now have it down to 33,000 @ turn on after blocking a little spill from hitting directly over the sensor, the other lights remain the same as their flood wasnāt so wide.
Iām not sure if its a direct drive or not. I measured about 18.6 amps at the tail with those (forgot to add that clip to the vid). I suppose I should probly own a set of 4 matching unprotecteds. Whatās the best thing going in low resistance high discharge these days?
Its the 12v config. I tested while the pack was fully charged, but even if we assume 3.7V per cell under load were looking at over 275 watts. Pretty impressive I though.
Yeah, most companies making a 30,000 lumen light would use 8 x 18650 (Astrolux MF03, Imalent DX80). Only 4 cells is impressive (for 25 seconds, at least. )
What impresses me more is that those cells must have 20A protection circuits. Iāve never seen them that high. Iāve seen a few cells using 15A circuits, but thatās it for 18650ās.
Yep, the Acebeam site shows they have a 20A circuit. Really expensive suckers as well.
I always measure higher lumens with the Sony VTC5D vs the VTC6. You lose aoubt 200-300mah with the VTC5D though but it still has more capacity than the VTC5A.
The VTC5D doesnāt appear to be in HKJās comparator. I wish it was.
This is a fairly new cell I believe. I think it was made for the Dyson vacuum company, hence the D suffix.
Mooch has done a comparison here.
Honestly, I get a lot of these Sony batteries mixed up due to their name. Thatās why I tend to stick to the 30Q. It has both good power and capacity and the name is easy to remember. Lol.
Same here, my VTC5Dās put out more than the VTC6ās Aās and 30Qās. Donāt really care what Mooch gets, the Lumen Tube tells a different story. :+1:
Liion wholesale has 18650GA cells with 20A protection circuits. I know theyāre not rated for 20A continuous, but thatās where they set the protection circuit.
